Bring Back Swedish Meatballs

It's time to spring Swedish meatballs from their Ikea prison; they've done their time, let's bring them home - they deserve a better fate. They were a staple in American kitchens for years; kids loved them, they were easy to make and they were budget friendly. Trouble is they lacked panache. Now, I know I'm moving dangerously close to "putting lipstick on a pig", but if it's been awhile since you had Swedish meatballs, I hope you'll give these a try. These are really good - cardamom takes them to another level and the aroma just might dive you crazy.

We will absolutely be trying out your recipe. Being married to a Swede for almost 30 years, I have tried most of the delicacies. Swedish meatballs are always on the Christmas Eve Smorgasbord. This recipe with turkey sound great. Thank you. Susan

Hi Mary, I'm so glad to have found your blog! You were kind enough to share this recipe with me a few years back in response to a request, and it has been a family favorite ever since. We are of Swedish ancestry and the older relatives had used a mix to make their meatballs. I have proudly made your meatballs from scratch, and hope my kids will continue to tradition. Blessings, Carolyn (SwedishChef)

My "baby" turns 18 later this month! She is a senior in HS and applying to colleges. (sniff,sniff)My oldest lives at home - works FT and takes classes, so he keeps me company. My middle two are at my alma mater in Providence. ;)Time marches on! It's all good.
